Three 🇺🇸 U.S soldiers were killed and another was injured when two US Army AH-64 Apache helicopters crashed Thursday as they were flying back from a military training flight near Haley, Alaska, US Army officials said.

Two of the soldiers died at the scene and the third died while being transported to a hospital, according to a release from the US Army’s 11th Airborne Division.

The names of the deceased are being withheld until 24 hours after their families have been notified, the release said.

The crash occurred about 100 miles south of Fort Wainwright, where the helicopters are based as part of the 1st Attack Battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment.

“This is an incredible loss for these soldiers’ families, their fellow soldiers, and for the division,” Maj. Gen. Brian Eifler, commanding general of the 11th Airborne Division, said in the release. “Our hearts and prayers go out to their families, friends and loved ones, and we are making the full resources of the Army available to support them.”



The injured soldier is being treated at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, according to the release. Details on the extent of their injuries were not provided.

“The Fort Wainwright community is one of the tightest military communities I’ve seen in my 32 years of service. I have no doubt they will pull together during this exceptional time of need and provide comfort to our families of our fallen,” Eifler added.

Fort Wainwright’s Emergency Assistance Center is available to “provide support for families, friends and fellow soldiers of those involved in the crash,” the release said.

The crash will be investigated by an Army Combat Readiness Center team, the release said.

🤡 World's Number 1 Army 🤡

There's not a week that goes by that we don't hear of a 🇺🇸 U.S military plane crashing. I can count about 4 this month alone.

They not even in a war zone yet they keep crashing their expensive junk of a plane. Imagine what would happen if they were in a war zone like 🇺🇦 Ukraine.

I was expecting this ignorant comment. I knew you were anti west. Next we will see is like for USA/Nazi, share for Russia! 🤣

You didn't say a thing when Russia accidentally launch a bomb on their own city, did you?
At least USA didn't make that zwor mistake. Everyone makes mistake, and it will be unwise of you to think otherwise. USA stands. All these your unnecessary celebration makes you seem like a jester.

Now, in case you don't know. There are many potential causes of a military plane crash. Some common causes include pilot error, mechanical failure, bad weather, and bird strikes. However, it is important to note that each military plane crash is unique and there may be other factors that contribute to the crash. For example, a plane may crash due to a combination of pilot error and a mechanical failure. It is also important to note that military planes are often put under a great deal of stress, which may increase the likelihood of a crash. So it's nothing new! 🤷‍♂️

Understandably. They're in a war. Accidents happen.

Now let's talk about the US operators that damaged a nuclear bomb in a Dutch air base due to manhandling... a month ago.

Thought you bot called it a "special operation" ? 🤣
They are the aggressor here, what's so hard in locking on their target,they even injured about three persons.
The one that happened in the US wasn't in a public space, was it? 🤷‍♂️.

Dude, keep quiet. Was anyone injured or dead in the occurrence? 🤷‍♂️
Comparing a minor accident to Russia bombing itself to stupor, putting thousands of life at risk! 🤣

Sit more, and learn. Stop running yo mouth around the whole place. Not sure if you even read about the incident. Since your brain is wired to swallow propaganda you didn't bother to read on it.

I have no doubt you reside in Putin bum bum and only stick out to dish out Putin propaganda. A Russian plane equally crashed a day ago but instead you dug out one about US to deflect the negative attention to what gives Putin nightmare. Russia also bombed pro-russian settlement a week ago but nothing came from your pro russian Russia-Versus-West propaganda outlet.
Nonsense. No be only like and share.
